Time Is Bunny

Oh yeah--because I don't stay in 'derby stance' when we jam! But forget about the bruise on my butt! Check these things out:

My League won their third game this season! That is three out of four games played so far! I didn't take any pictures of the action because I was in the middle of the rink assisting Shovey Bel Air with penalty tracking! But here is a picture of my skater sister Make Out Bandit and me:

Next up for New Hampshire Roller Derby is "Roller Consolation" where New England skaters not going to Roller Con can skate on one of six teams. There is even talk of a men's derby bout! 

A week later we had a fundraiser and I won the prize for Best Flapper Contest!!! Pretty damn cool since I never win anything! I have a picture of me with my mounted gun prize, but my favorite picture of the night was take with N.Joy Payne:


Practices has been really great lately. We have been doing a lot of "David and Goliath" drills where we skate a jam with a limited number of people and one jammer and pivot. But the hits and falls are for real. I think we have learned a lot just by being out there and doing it! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I keep bruising my butt.

Got to stay in derby stance.
Got to straddle the inside line.

I finally uploaded the very few pictures I took at the April 25th hometown bout with the Killah Bees! I love my new camera but hate the memory card(s)!

My league won! I was screaming so much I thought I would have a stroke! The two teams played really well and were right behind each other in points. But in the end, NH won 86 to 75! ANd that's not all! Skate Free or Die won against Montreal a few weeks back 51 to 13! That's two out of three bouts in the inaugural season! How 'bout that?!

Did I mention that I finally leveled up? I am now level 1. That means I can get hit (and hit) by other women! It also means I can take my derby name!

The next bout is against the Utica Clobbers June 13th! 
 

2009 is poised to shower you with gifts, dear Rooster. You'll come into your own during the Year of the Earth Ox. People appreciate your wisdom, insight and wit this year. What bliss for an exhibitionist like you! There's never been a better time to go abroad; plan your trip for October. Getting an advanced diploma or certificate is also favored. There is one downside to this year, however: you run the risk of burnout. Although it may pain you to do so, you need to get into the habit of turning off your cell phone after hours, otherwise you'll never get any rest. Besides, you owe it to your friends and family to be entirely present for them.

As far as your health is concerned, you need to make more time for meditative activities like nature walks, meditation, reading and prayer. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time falling asleep. Make more time for hobbies, too. All work and no play make a cranky Rooster. Don't worry about falling behind -- if there's one year you can do it all, it's this one. Be sure to enter as many contests as possible during the Year of the Earth Ox. Luck is on your side, and could be awarded in the form of cash and prizes!

ha--hard time falling asleep....
